After years passed by and Muzan was yet to be undefeated, we all slowly lost hope...
We all.. separated...

"The man with the boar mask! The man with the boar mask!" The child held up their drawing and showed it to Tanjiro. " Hm... Oh! Is this one of your characters you made again? " Tanjiro said patting the child's head. "Nezuko drew one too. Nezuko acted out how you and your friend used to fight before you were old!" The child got into a stance and reenacted  what nezuko had shown him.
" Ah I see..! I'm surprised nezuko still remembers him.." Tanjiro had put his hand down from patting the child's head and had a rather sad expression. "Huh? What's wrong Tanjiro..?" The child had a concerned look. "It-It was nothing,I didn't get much sleep that's all! And hey who said I was old?" Tanjiro put his hands out and started to tickle the child. "Hehehe! Okay okay you aren't thaaatt old!" The child giggled. Tanjiro looked up at the sky and noticed it was beginning to get late, "it's time for you to go home and get some rest now, cmon let's start walking." Tanjiro carried the child on his back and walked the child home, putting the child down once they arrived and the mother opened the door. "Bye Tanjiro!" The child waved. " Bye!" Tanjiro smiled and waved goodbye as he walked back to the house.

Tanjiro arrived to him and nezuko's home, going inside to open the door to his room and lightly slam his face into his pillow. Tanjiro sighed and rolled over on his bed. "Every time I start to forget you..." Tanjiro turned his head and looked at the drawing the child had gave him earlier. Tanjiro leaned in and looked at it. " .... " Tanjiro got up and opened his closet door, grabbing out one of inosuke's blades.
" Why...Why did you leave like that..?" Tanjiro stared at the blade and had a tear fall from his right eye,which soon turned into multiple tears streaming down from both of his eyes. Tanjiro wiped the tears away and put the blade back into the closet. "I-I need sleep.. I have another mission tomorrow.." Tanjiro layed down into his bed. Tanjiro felt cold and empty, as he soon began to remember memories he wanted to forget. Tanjiro remembered when he confessed to Inosuke when they were just teens.

Tanjiro walked up to Inosuke, embarrassed with flustered cheeks.
" What's with your cheeks? Is it your new style kambacho!" Inosuke chuckled
Tanjiro was tired of holding it back and ignoring it, he shouted it out with his face towards Inosuke's
" I LIKE YOU INOSUKE!"
Tanjiro felt more embarrassed, covering his mouth when he realized he had shouted what he said at Inosuke.
Inosuke's face was blank. Tanjiro started to expect the worst and kept his face down..
Inosuke walked forward to Tanjiro and leaned by his ear,

" I like you too Tanjiro"
